Starting Out [ ]

In the beginning you start with nothing and are given the standard skill trees to choose from just like the other races, Kendo which is sword based, Hakuda which is fist based, Kido which is Reishi based and finally Speed which allows you to make quick cuts. Quincies also have bows, exclusive to the race, which can be toggled with the Tab key. This can be rerolled by M2-ing a cyber (Cybernetic) box .

As one of the three factions in Type Soul , Quincy has its own unique weapon options. In the current version of Type Soul there are seven weapons total available to Quincy characters, with more coming in the future. This is all Quincy Weapons in Type Soul as well as how they play.

Best Quincy Weapons and Tier List in Type Soul

All Quincy Weapons

Out of all the Quincy Weapons in Type Soul , only one that isn’t very good at the moment. Each weapon has its own unique playstyle, so you may want to try each one out until you know which is best for you. Here are all Quincy Weapons in Type Soul :

  • Antithesis : Decent crit-weapon but with a lacking stun proc.
  • Cang Du Claws : Strong weapon, but falls short of Warden.
  • Quincy Cutlass : Solid fast-attack weapon, but not quite as good as some other Quincy weapon choices.
  • Quincy Glock : Once top-tier, recent nerfs have reduced its practicality.
  • Quilge : Powerful M1s, making it a solid choice.
  • Schwert : Ranged crit-based weapon.
  • Jugramshield : Effective for medic builds.
  • Warden Gauntlets : High-chaining and arguably the best Quincy weapon currently, ideal for all Quincy players.
  • Reichweite : Versatile, especially good for Kendo users.
  • Yamato : Mythical weapon with three criticals.
  • Zweis : Dominant weapon with three criticals, highly effective.
  • Murasama (Quincy) : 60 Kendo Mythical Weapon
  • Abject (Quincy) : powerful sword that summons swords as a critical.

Type Soul Quincy Weapon Tier List

Abject is one of the best Quincy Weapons in Type Soul

We’ve put together a Quincy Weapon Tier List for Type Soul to highlight the best weapon choices for Quincy characters. With this Tier List, you essentially want to focus on a weapon from the S Tier. While A Tier weapons are solid enough, they just don’t reach the potential of S Tier. You should probably avoid both the B Tier and C Tier weapons for now, as they need some buffs to be viable.

  • Abject (Quincy)
  • Warden Gauntlets
  • Quincy Glock
  • Quincy Cutlass
  • Cang Du Claws
  • Jugramshield

Type Soul: How To Trade With Other Players

How to get to hueco mundo in type soul, roblox: realistic street soccer codes (september 2024).

Each faction in Roblox: Type Soul has many different weapons and abilities. Therefore, you can create a build to suit your taste no matter which side you choose. However, many of your combat abilities are dependent on RNG. Therefore, this guide will tell you all Quincy weapons and how to get them in Type Soul .

According to the original lore, Quincy only uses bows in battle. However, in the case of Type Soul , things are a little different, so most of the weapons are melee. But this does not make them weaker than other factions' weapons.

Type Soul Rin

Knowing how to trade with other players in Type Soul will help you eliminate useless items in your inventory and acquire something valuable.

Type Soul: How to Get Quincy Weapons

Type Soul items

Unlike Hollows , Quincy's progression is much easier, as you just need to visit Wandenreich as a lost soul to join this faction and immediately start fighting. Once you become part of the Yhwach army, you will receive your Quincy weapon in Type Soul .

As with other abilities and items, your weapon depends entirely on RNG. You will most likely get Common ones since most have a 97% drop rate. At the same time, there are only a few Legendary Quincy weapons, but the drop rate is 3%. If you don't like fighting what you got initially, you can reroll it.

To change Quincy weapons in Type Soul , players must use Spirit Boxes, which work as reroll items . In other words, they do not guarantee you will get the desired weapon. But they are straightforward to obtain. You only need to win Raids to have a slight chance of receiving Spirit Boxes as a drop. Alternatively, Quincy can visit the KT Shop NPC and purchase such a Box for 80k Kan.

Hueco Mundo in Type Soul

Hueco Mundo is not only one of the darkest but also one of the most beloved locations in Type Soul for any faction.

Type Soul: All Quincy Weapons

Type Soul character

In total, Quincy has nine weapons in the arsenal; three of them are Legendary, while the remaining six are Common ones. But this does not mean that only the Legendary are the best. Fortunately, even among Common weapons, you can find worthy options.

A good example is Antithesis. This greatsword can deal massive melee damage with combos and has a large hitbox. Moreover, the weapon has a ranged attack, which allows it to be used effectively against almost any enemy.

If you prefer ranged combat, then the Quincyglock is what you need. This gun will allow you to deal much damage at a distance while dodging enemy attacks. But it takes a lot of practice to get used to.

Best Quincy Build in Type Soul – Roblox

Image of Nenad Grujić

Roblox anime games are my favorite, especially the Bleach ones. There are many great ways to strengthen your character in this one, so here's the best Quincy build in the Type Soul Roblox game.

Roblox Type Soul Best Quincy Build

The best Quincy build in Type Soul is the Speed + Kendo combo. Quincy characters are usually focused on ranged attacks and accuracy, but that's not the optimal build for Type Soul since the game emphasizes quickness and close combat. Regarding Quincy weapons , your best choice is the Antithesis spirit weapon.

How to choose the best Quincy build in Type Soul

The first step in becoming a Quincy is to die and become a lost soul . Then, you should go to Wanden Gate in Karakura Town and interact with the white glowing sword statue. Once you become a Quincy, you have five Stat Paths to choose from: Speed, Hakuda, Kendo, Kido, and Healing. For the best Quincy build, you should put 40 points into Kendo and 20 into Speed .

To further enhance your Quincy character, you need to choose the best weapon from the broad arsenal. Quincies can use a wide array of Spirit Weapons, and it's important to choose ones that suit your build the best. The best Quincy weapon is Antithesis due to its excellent damage and range. This magnificent sword has a lot of devastating ground and air combos that are hard to dodge. Another great Quincy item is the Quincy Medallion . If you watched Thousand Years Blood War, you know Quincy Medallion can steal the Soul Reapers' Bankai, which is very useful against powerful foes.

How to get Antithesis Weapon and Quincy Medallion in Type Soul

The Antithesis weapon is attainable from a Spirit Box you can buy in Karakura Town's residential area. However, before that, you need to win a raid or join the server soon after your faction wins a raid. Go to the residential area, and look for a house with a balcony. There, you'll see an NPC that will sell you a Spirit Box for 80,000. However, there's a possibility to get a Spirit Box from raids too. As for the Quincy Medallion , you need to complete Faction Raids Conquest, Art of the Soul and Gladiators, or Karakura Raids King of the Hill, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag.

Best Quincy Weapons in Type Soul (Tier List)

best quincy weapons in type soul

Image source: Roblox Corp.

Yo, Quincy mains and aspiring spirit warriors! If you’re diving into the new and updated Roblox Type Soul , knowing your arsenal is key to dominating both Soul Reapers and Arrancars. As a Quincy main myself, I’ve had my fair share of battles, and let me tell you, not all Spirit Weapons are created equal. Here’s my personal take on the best Quincy weapons in Type Soul , spiced up with some gameplay tactics and opinions on what makes these weapons stand out… or fall flat.

Type Soul Quincy Weapons: Tier List

Choosing the right Quincy weapon can be a game-changer, and after some intense gameplay, here’s how I rank them from my own experience:

  • Unnamed Sword/Rapier Hybrid: This weapon, though its name escapes me, is an absolute monster. Its critical slows enemies down to a crawl, setting them up for devastating combos. Pair it with Fast Fang for a finisher that’s as stylish as it is lethal. It’s not just a weapon; it’s a combo enabler, making it the only S-tier in my book.
  • Glock: The Glock is great for Quincy players who love to annoy their opponents from a safe distance. However, it’s not unbeatable and lands in the A-tier because, let’s face it, getting close and personal with this weapon can be a challenge.
  • Cutlass: Once considered the pinnacle of Quincy weaponry, the Cutlass has seen better days. It’s still a solid choice, especially for speed builds, but it’s overshadowed by weapons with projectile critical attacks. If you’re starting out or sticking to lower levels, the Cutlass won’t steer you wrong, but keep an eye out for upgrades.
  • Original Quincy Claw: A step up from the Warden, this weapon shines with its midair combo extensions. It might not be the flashiest tool in the shed, but when it comes to keeping your opponent airborne and helpless, it does the trick. A solid B-tier for its utility in the right hands.
  • Warden: This Hakuda weapon, with its intriguing chain pull mechanic, sounds cool on paper but often falls short in execution. It’s a bit hit or miss, and since I’m not much of a Hakuda user myself, I’ve found it lacking compared to others. It’s in the C-tier, mostly because it doesn’t consistently deliver on its promise.
  • Antithesis (Greatsword): Oh, the Antithesis. Where do I start? This weapon is more likely to make you miss your crits than land them, thanks to its awkward dash. It’s clunky, it’s cumbersome, and frankly, it’s a pain to use. An F-tier weapon in my heart, but let’s be generous and call it C-tier for effort. Just go for a reroll .

Every Quincy in Roblox Type Soul has their style, and you can definitely make lower-tier weapons work. At the end of the day, it’s not just about the weapon but how you use it. If you’re looking for more help then check out our codes article.

All Quincy Weapons in Type Soul

follow icon

Type Soul includes an abundance of weapon types for each playable race with varying effectiveness. Not only does it make the roleplaying experience more engaging, but it also adds an element of strategy to the process of finding the right weapon for your build.

This is particularly true for Quincies, who must use everything at their disposal to defend themselves against enemy Hollows and Soul Reapers. While the game is fairly balanced to accommodate all types of weapons, certain arms are simply a cut above the rest. Knowing which is the best option for your avatar can be the difference between survival and loss.

In this guide, we will break down all weapon types available for the Quincy class in Type Soul and rank them based on their effectiveness in combat.

Breaking down Quincy weapons in Type Soul

Weapon types exclusive to Quincies (Image via Roblox)

At the moment, there are 14 weapons available to Quincies: Antithesis, Abject, Glock, Cutlass, Jugramshield, Muramasa, Quilge, Warden, Cang Du Claws, Reichweite, Schwert, Spalten, Yamato, and Zweis.

These weapons come with unique movesets and combinations, which demand experimentation on the player’s part to be effective.

Quincy weapons sorted by rarity (Image via Roblox)

Here’s a brief breakdown of what these weapons are good at and where they are lacking:

  • Antithesis : A middle-of-the-road great sword with a good critical hit rate.
  • Abject (Quincy): A weapon with incredibly fast attacks.
  • Glock : A gun with high range but mediocre damage after the most recent patch.
  • Cutlass : A fast broad saber with high damage potential but average overall performance.
  • Jugramshield : Shield with good damage-reducing capabilities and an ability to crit.
  • Murasama (Quincy): A mythical weapon suited for Kendo users.
  • Quilge : A weapon with hard-hitting light attacks with virtually no downsides.
  • Warden : A chain-based weapon that is suited specifically for Hakuda builds.
  • Cang Du Claws : A strong set of claws with the ability to combo in mid-air.
  • Reichweite: A legendary halberd with an area-of-effect critical attack.
  • Schwert : A ranged weapon with a high critical hit chance and decent overall performance.
  • Spalten : A legendary weapon with high damage and combat utility.
  • Yamato: A mythical weapon with a faction-specific critical attack.
  • Zweis: A mythical set of daggers with a teleporting attack.

Ranking Quincy weapons in Type Soul

Ranking all Quincy weapons (Image via Roblox)

All Quincy weapons have their own set of pros and cons which can be build-specific, which makes it rather difficult to rank them. For instance, Warden is a weapon that can be considered to be the best, but only when used by characters that specialize in Hakuda builds.

So, it’s important to note that while certain weapons are clearly better than others, none are outright useless in battle.

S-Tier Quincy Weapons

The best weapons for Quincies to use are the Spaltan, the Warden, the Abject (Quincy), the Muramasa, the Zweis, the Yamato, and the Jugramshield. You can rely on these weapons to get you out of any combat situation without facing any issues. Note that the Warden can only be used with Hakuda builds.

A-Tier Quincy Weapons

The A-tier weapons are only slightly less effective than their counterparts in the S-tier, offering good performance with minor drawbacks. This tier includes the Quilge, the Cang Du Claws, the Reichweite , and the Glock, each of which is capable of dishing out some serious pain to the opponent.

B-Tier Quincy Weapons

This tier is reserved for the average weapon. You can use these every once in a while, but their shortcomings make them less reliable than the ones in the higher tiers.

The Cutlass and the Schwert have the most average performance out of all Quincy weapon archetypes, solidifying their place in the B-tier.

C-Tier Weapons

It is recommended not to rely on the weapons in this tier too heavily. If you have no other options available to you, they can defend you for a short while.

The Antithesis is the least reliable weapon for Quincies. This greatsword features a clunky moveset with a decent critical attack that saves it from being unusable.

What is the best weapon for Quincies in Type Soul?

Quincies can rely on the Yamato, an exceptionally powerful blade with a unique area-of-effect critical hit.

Which Quincy weapon is good at dealing damage from far away in Type Soul?

Similar to the hit anime, Quincy builds rely on ranged damage along with quick dodging abilities and aerial shooting skills. This tier list will not only inform you about the best Quincy weapons in Type Soul but also those weapons that you should not equip or invest in.

Type Soul Quincy Weapons Tier List: All Tiers Explained

Type Soul Quincy Weapons Tier List

We have listed all Quincy weapons in Roblox Type Soul in four categories based on their performance, starting from the S-tier and ending at the C-tier. Below we have provided a breakdown of each tier:-

  • S-tier : These are the best Quincy weapons in Type Soul. They hold a variety of air combos along with excellent range and damage capabilities.
  • A-tier : Weapons belonging to this category pack decent damage and range but sometimes their effectiveness is based on the character’s build (speed, strength, evasion, etc).
  • B-tier: These weapons are suitable for new players in Type Soul. Switch to better weapons, those belonging to a higher tier, after a few hours of grinding in the PvP game.
  • C-tier: Avoid equipping these weapons.

  • Jugramshield

Type Soul

Note that this Type Soul Quincy weapons tier list is based on popular gameplay opinions. You may find a weapon to be better suited for your Quincy build even though they belong to the B-tier. For instance, Claws is exceptionally useful in Speed builds. Meanwhile, the Jugramshield can deflect critical strikes and protect the player from insane amounts of damage.

All Quincy Weapons in Type Soul

In dire need of more weapon options

All Quincy Weapons in Type Soul

As one of the three factions in Type Soul , Quincy has its own unique weapon options. In the current version of Type Soul there are seven weapons total available to Quincy characters, with more coming in the future. This is all Quincy Weapons in Type Soul as well as how they play.

Best Quincy Weapons and Tier List in Type Soul

All Quincy Weapons

Out of all the Quincy Weapons in Type Soul , only one that isn’t very good at the moment. Each weapon has its own unique playstyle, so you may want to try each one out until you know which is best for you. Here are all Quincy Weapons in Type Soul :

  • Antithesis : Decent crit-weapon but with a lacking stun proc.
  • Cang Du Claws : Strong weapon, but falls short of Warden.
  • Quincy Cutlass : Solid fast-attack weapon, but not quite as good as some other Quincy weapon choices.
  • Quincy Glock : Once top-tier, recent nerfs have reduced its practicality.
  • Quilge : Powerful M1s, making it a solid choice.
  • Schwert : Ranged crit-based weapon.
  • Jugramshield : Effective for medic builds.
  • Warden Gauntlets : High-chaining and arguably the best Quincy weapon currently, ideal for all Quincy players.
  • Reichweite : Versatile, especially good for Kendo users.
  • Yamato : Mythical weapon with three criticals.
  • Zweis : Dominant weapon with three criticals, highly effective.
  • Murasama (Quincy) : 60 Kendo Mythical Weapon
  • Abject (Quincy) : powerful sword that summons swords as a critical.

Type Soul Quincy Weapon Tier List

Abject is one of the best Quincy Weapons in Type Soul

We’ve put together a Quincy Weapon Tier List for Type Soul to highlight the best weapon choices for Quincy characters. With this Tier List, you essentially want to focus on a weapon from the S Tier. While A Tier weapons are solid enough, they just don’t reach the potential of S Tier. You should probably avoid both the B Tier and C Tier weapons for now, as they need some buffs to be viable.

  • Abject (Quincy)
  • Warden Gauntlets
  • Quincy Glock
  • Quincy Cutlass
  • Cang Du Claws
  • Jugramshield

Roblox Type Soul: Quincy Progression Guide

Swear by the pride of the Quincy you’ll see these quests through.

Roblox Type Soul: Quincy Progression Guide

This Bleach -themed battle royale Roblox experience is one of the most popular anime games on the platform. Nevertheless, the game is quite cryptic and somewhat hard to get into. It doesn’t help that newcomers’ cries are unanswered in the official community Discord server. This time, let’s break down the progression and steps needed to become the most powerful Quincy in Roblox Type Soul .

How to Become a Quincy in Type Soul?

How to Become a Quincy in Type Soul?

In the old Type Soul version, you must die first and become a Lost Soul, then interact with the Wanden Statue to become a Quincy. Thankfully, it’s not that convoluted anymore. When making a new character you’ll be given a selection between Soul Reaper, Hollow, or Quincy.

Obviously, you’d want to pick Quincy. Select the option; you will be transported to a random server and start as a Grade 5 Quincy.

The Progression of Quincy Grades in Roblox Type Soul

Raising and Progressing Through Your Quincy Grades in Roblox Type Soul

Now, you’ve become a lower member of the spirit hunter — but not a full-fledged Quincy yet. At this point in Roblox Type Soul , you need to progress through your Quincy Grades. Do so by making a Party; press the “Create Party” text on the left side of your screen. Then look for a Mission Board and queue for missions.

In Wandenreich, two Mission Boards can be easily found not far from the castle entrance. One is in front of the castle gate. For the other, from the gate, take a left and then a right until you see two picnic tables on your right. The Mission Board is just across from them.

  • Grinding Mission XP is the first Quincy progression from Grade 5 to Semi Grade 1 in Roblox Type Soul .
  • To progress from Semi Grade 1 to Elite Grade, you must kill Hollow NPCs, get Raid XPs by defeating other players, and Mission XPs too.
  • Don’t forget to invite some friends to your Party to make grinding XP easier and avoid being ganked!

To teleport to Wandenreich, select the “Server” icon on the top left of your screen then press the “W” text. Afterward, just pick any server with a player number and physical location you prefer. The closer the server is to your current location, the less lag you should encounter. And of course, the fewer players that can gang you up, the easier you can farm NPCs for XP and leveling up.

Don’t forget to unlock the Flashstep in the Speed Skill Tree first. It costs 0 skill points and can be accessed through the Inventory/Skill menu.

Unlocking a Schrift

Unlocking a Schrift

Once you progress to Quincy Grade 2 , you can unlock another ability called Schrift. That can be done by speaking to the Balance NPC on top of the Wandenreich castle. After speaking to her, head to the statue across the Wandenreich castle.

When you have reached this point, you must clear these objectives in no particular order:

  • Kill 3 NPC or Player Adjuchas.
  • Kill 5 NPC or Player Menos.
  • Kill 15 NPC or Players Fishbones.
  • Grip 5 Shinigami Players.
  • Grip 5 Arrancar Players.

Interact with the statue at any time to check up on your progress. But note that your progress will be reset if you die during this quest! For that reason, invite and bring backups to your Party. After completing this quest, interact with the statue again to obtain Schrift.

Unlocking a Volt / Vollstandig

Unlocking a Volt / Vollstandig

Finally, for the last Volt or Vollstandig skill, you must progress until reaching Elite Stage 1 Quincy Grade in Roblox Type Soul . When you have completed around 25 Raids and become an Elite, meet up with the V – Unequaled, Unrivaled NPC. He can be found in a brown warehouse in the industrial area of Karakura Town .

Depending on your progress, he will say a different quote. At 100%, Unequaled, Unrivaled will praise you, indicating you can finally unlock your Volt skill.

ProgressNPC Quote
0%“You will never become anything compared to what I am.”
20%“A couple of kills won’t get you anywhere. Stop bothering me.”
40%“Why do you keep coming back? You’re still pathetic”
60%“Maybe you’re not so bad after all. But I’m still not impressed.”
80%“You’re quite unbelievable; you know that?”
100%“Unequaled. Unrivaled. Go make me proud, lil bro.”
  • Getting to Elite Stage 1 Grade takes 25 Raids.
  • Getting to Elite Stage 2 Grade takes defeating 100 Hollows, grips 20 Elite players, and 1 Bawabawa.
  • Unlock Elite Stage 3 by speaking to the Balance NPC in Wandenreich. She will test your parrying skill; look up to the sky and press N or block when a beam of light appears. Passing the test will unlock Vollstandig.

That is it, you have progressed and unlocked all your potential as a Quincy! Now go and hunt down the Shinigami and Arrancar that dare to stand in your way.

Roblox Type Soul  is available for PC, mobile devices, PlayStation, and Xbox.

  • It was an act of clenched teeth and hatred, it was the unendurable, the agony, an act of passion—the word born to mean suffering—it was the moment made of hatred, tension, pain—the moment that broke its own elements, inverted them, triumphed, swept into a denial of all suffering, into its antithesis , into ecstasy.†   (source) Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead , 1943

  • Victory on this side, defeat on that—complete for one moment was the antithesis .†   (source) E. M. Forster, A Passage to India , 1924

  • The Corsican became the antithesis of the Bearnese.†   (source) Victor Hugo, Les Miserables , 1862
  • Waving aside petty differences of conclusions which, although they might occasionally cause the deaths of several millions of young men, might be explained away—supposing that after all Bernard Shaw and Bernhardi, Bonar Law and Bethmann-Hollweg were mutual heirs of progress if only in agreeing against the ducking of witches—waiving the antitheses and approaching individually these men who seemed to be the leaders, he was repelled by the discrepancies and contradictions in the men themselves.†   (source) F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise , 1920
  • To antithesis was due his naming.†   (source) Jack London, White Fang , 1906
  • Somehow at this moment, bleak and covered with snow, they identified themselves in her mind as the antithesis of all to which her imagination aspired.†   (source) Theodore Dreiser, An American Tragedy , 1925
  • At the moment when she wished to be thought the very antithesis of her father, what she at once suggested to me were the mannerisms, in thought and speech, of the poor old music-master.†   (source) Marcel Proust, Swann's Way , 1913
  • Humanism had been accused of exaggerating the importance of form; but it cultivated beautiful form purely for the sake of the dignity of man—in brilliant antithesis to the Middle Ages, which had sunk not only into misanthropy and superstition, but also into ignominious formlessness.†   (source) Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain , 1924
  • Among some shrubbery stood a little stone angel or cupid, its snowy cap cocked to one side, its finger to its lips; it might have been taken for the genius of the place— that is to say, the genius of silence, but of a silence that, although it was certainly the antithesis and counterpart of speech, and so a silence of hushed voices, was in no way a silence devoid of substance or incident.†   (source) Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain , 1924
  • The only healthy and noble and indeed, let me expressly point out, the only religious way in which to regard death is to perceive and feel it as a constituent part of life, as life's holy prerequisite, and not to separate it intellectually, to set it up in opposition to life, or, worse, to play it off against life in some disgusting fashion— for that is indeed the antithesis of a healthy, noble, reasonable, and religious view.†   (source) Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain , 1924
  • He did not paralyze the nerve of antithesis with confusion and obstructionism the way Naphta did; he was not ambiguous like him, or if so, then in an entirely contrary, positive fashion—he was the staggering mystery that went not only beyond mere stupidity and cleverness, but also beyond so many of the other opposites that Settembrini and Naphta conjured up to create high tension for.†   (source) Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain , 1924
  • However much I detest seeing that dubious construct of moonshine and cobwebs that goes by the name of 'soul' played off against the body, within the antithesis of body and mind, it is the body that is the evil, devilish principle, because the body is nature, and nature—as an opposing force, I repeat, to mind, to reason—is evil, mystical and evil.†   (source) Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain , 1924
  • But that day would come, Settembrini said, smiling delicately beneath his moustache—it would come, if not on the feet of doves, then on the pinions of eagles, and would burst as the dawn of universal brotherhood under the emblem of reason, science, and justice; it would bring about a new Holy Alliance of bourgeois democracies, the shining antithesis of that thrice-infamous alliance of princes and ministers whom Grandfather Giuseppe had declared his personal enemies—in a word, the Republic of the World.†   (source) Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain , 1924
  • He trembled as he read and was profoundly stirred by the rigid, but impressive antitheses so evident from the pages of these documents: impeccable deportment on the one side and rascally, disreputable laxness on the other.†   (source) Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain , 1924
  • "This philosophic reflection," thought he, "will make a great sensation at M. de Saint-Meran's;" and he arranged mentally, while Dantes awaited further questions, the antithesis by which orators often create a reputation for eloquence.†   (source) Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo , 1846
  • Few men exhibit greater diversity, or, if we may so express it, greater antithesis of character, than the native warrior of North America.†   (source) James Fenimore Cooper, The Last of the Mohicans , 1826
  • Never did God, who is fond of antitheses , make a more striking contrast, a more extraordinary comparison.†   (source) Victor Hugo, Les Miserables , 1862
  • And I am the more persuaded of that suspicion, if one can call it so, by the fact that if you take, for instance, the antithesis of the normal man, that is, the man of acute consciousness, who has come, of course, not out of the lap of nature but out of a retort (this is almost mysticism, gentlemen, but I suspect this, too), this retort-made man is sometimes so nonplussed in the presence of his antithesis that with all his exaggerated consciousness he genuinely thinks of himself as a mouse and not a man.†   (source) Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from the Underground , 1864
  • "What do you think of that for a fine bit of antithesis ?" said the German, searching in his friend's face for responding admiration, but going on volubly without waiting for any other answer.†   (source) George Eliot, Middlemarch , 1872
  • Mary Garth, on the contrary, had the aspect of an ordinary sinner: she was brown; her curly dark hair was rough and stubborn; her stature was low; and it would not be true to declare, in satisfactory antithesis , that she had all the virtues.†   (source) George Eliot, Middlemarch , 1872
  • They generally succeed the bad ones, as day follows night, by virtue of that law of succession and of contrast which lies at the very foundation of nature, and which superficial minds call antithesis .†   (source) Victor Hugo, Les Miserables , 1862
  • antitheses !†   (source) Victor Hugo, Les Miserables , 1862
  • — Antithesis , the professor said nodding twice.†   (source) James Joyce, Ulysses , 1922
  • The young American, like the youngster of any other race, inclines irresistibly toward the dialect that he hears at home, and that dialect, with its piquant neologisms, its high disdain of precedent, its complete lack of self-consciousness, is almost the antithesis of the hard and stiff speech that is expounded out of books.†   (source) Henry L. Mencken, The American Language , 1919

A Gentleman in Moscow

Quick recap & summary by chapter.

The Full Book Recap and Chapter-by-Chapter Summary for A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles are below.

Quick(-ish) Recap

The Prologue introduces Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov, a Count who became a revolutionary hero due to a poem he wrote. On June 21, 1922, after the Russian Revolution, Rostov manages to avoid a death sentence due to his status as a revolutionary hero, but his noble birth means he is still sentenced to house arrest at the Metropol Hotel, where he has been living for many years.

In Book One , Rostov begins his house arrest and moves into a humble, small room at the Metropol. Rostov meets Nina, who is a long-term guest of the hotel. Nina is 9. Nina teaches Rostov about the inner workings of the hotel and eventually gives him a passkey for the hotel. Rostov also meets the Bishop, a waiter who Rostov dislikes because he's bad at his job.

In Book Two , Rostov meets up with Mishka, his old friend, who is romancing a woman named Katerina. Rostov also meets Anna Urbanova, an actress who Rostov makes love to. The Bishop gets promoted and continues to be a thorn in Rostov's side. As the years pass, Rostov becomes depressed and decides to kill himself. Nina is also now 13 and will be leaving the Metropol soon. However, the night of Rostov's planned suicide, Rostov comes across Abram, the hotel handyman, and they chat the rest of night, so he doesn't go through with it.

In Book Three , it's now 1930. Rostov, who has very discerning tastes, has been helping out at the restaurant (The Boyarsky) with Emile (head chef) and Andrey (maĂŽtre d'). They call themselves the Triumvirate and meet daily to plan out the restaurant's activities. Anna and Rostov begin seeing each other on and off. Rostov also befriends Osip, a Soviet official who wants Rostov to teach him the ways of the privileged classes.

Nina comes to visit. When she returns years later, she has a young daughter Sofia, but her husband has been arrested and sent to Siberia. She asks Rostov to watch Sofia temporarily, but Nina never returns. Rostov and the rest of the hotel staff help to raise Nina. When Nina is 13, she falls down the stairs playing a game with Rostov and he finally leaves the Metropol to rush her to the hospital. Osip arranges for Rostov to return discreetly to the hotel. Meanwhile, Mishka gets sent to a labor camp in Siberia. When he gets out he is weak, and he (a former revolutionary) is critical of the revolution.

In Book Four , Sofia is now 17 and plays piano very well. Her piano teacher is a man named Viktor. Rostov also meets Katerina, who informs him that Mishka has died. Rostov admits to her that Mishka was the one who wrote the poem that made Rostov famous. Katerina leaves Rostov with Mishka's last project, a subversive book of quotes about the famine in Russia.

In Book Five , Sofia is headed to Paris soon for a piano perforance. Rostov has been planning escape. Rostov asks a man to deliver a letter to Richard, an American who once approached him to ask him to be a spy (Rostov refused, but befriended Richard). Rostov oversees an important dinner at the hotel, analyzing how the men are seated to understand the power dynamics in the room. Before Sofia leaves, Rostov gives her a map.

Through a carefully executed plan, Rostov is able to lock the Bishop in a storage room in the basement. Meanwhile, in Paris, Sofia finishes her performance and uses the map to find Richard's house. She gives Richard a package with the seating arrangement information that Rostov collected (e.g. valuable intelligence about the Russian power dynamics). In exchange, Richard orders barrage of phone calls to be placed to the Metropol, causing a fracas that allows Rostov to escape.

In the Afterword , we learn that Viktor and Rostov met up after the escape. The men are dressed similarly, and Viktor boards a train that serves as a diversion. Rostov returns to his home. His mansion was burned down, but he enters a nearby tavern where a woman is waiting for him (described as "willowy", which implies it's Anna).

Chapter-by-Chapter Summary

The book opens with a poem (“ Where Is It Now? “) written in 1913 by Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov . It’s followed by a court transcript from June 21, 1922. The Bolsheviks (pro-revolution) put Rostov on trial. The poem made him a revolutionary hero, but his upbringing is clearly noble. They decide that they won’t execute him, but they sentence him to house arrest in the Metropol Hotel (where he was already living) for the rest of his life.

1922, An Ambassador

Rostov is escorted back to the Metropol, but to a much smaller room than before, originally built for the hired help. He’s allowed to fill it with his belongings, but anything that doesn’t fit is now property of the State. Rostov deliberates and keeps mostly items with sentimental value. The last object he grabs is a pair of scissors that once belonged to his sister, Helena .

Andrey (maĂŽtre d’ of the hotel restaurant, the Boyarsky), Vasily (hotel concierge), and Marina (hotel seamstress) show up to see him, and they drink and talk and toast to the Metropol.

Rostov then goes to his desk which he kept and unlocks a secret latch in the desk legs where some gold coins are stored.

An Anglican Ashore

The next morning, Rostov asks a clerk to deliver a letter to Konstantin Konstantinovich . He tries to read the essays of Michel de Montaigne which he has been meaning to do, but Konstantin shows up. Konstantin agrees to send out three notes, and later in response, three items (pillow, linens, soap) are delivered to Rostov. That night Rostov gets dinner at the best restaurant in the hotel, the Boyarsky.

An Appointment, An Acquaintanceship

Rostov goes to his barber appointment. A man gets annoyed with Rostov and clips off part of his moustache. Rostov goes ahead and asks the barber to shave off it all off, since it’s a symbol of aristocracy which he no longer is.

For lunch, Rostov goes to the less upscale hotel restaurant, the Piazza . The waiter there is the Bishop , who Rostov thinks is bad at his job. Rostov helps out a couple nearby by recommending a better wine pairing for their meal than what the Bishop recommends.

He is approached by Nina , a 9-year-old girl whose father is a Ukrainian diplomat. She says she’s seen him before, but wants to know what happened to the moustache. She asks him a bunch of questions, and the Count ends up telling her a story about a duel that once began in the lobby of the hotel. He tells her about a pair of pistols the hotel manager kept behind a secret panel in his office.

Anyway, Around and About

Nina soon calls on Rostov for tea and ask him about princesses. He tells her about royal drama and courtly manners.

Nina teaches Rostov about the inner workings of the hotel. Nina managed to obtain a passkey for the hotel at some point, and she uses it for her adventures and to snoop on people. She takes him to the basement, shows him the furnace and electrical room, and she even shows him the storage room for the hotel’s silver.

Inspired by their adventures, Rostov discovers a secret room attached to his room.

An Assembly

Nina and Rostov go spy on a Bolshevik assembly. Rostov notes the many similarities between the Bolsheviks and the old order. After, Mr. Halecki , the hotel manager, talks to Rostov. He says that the hotel staff must no longer refer to Rostov using honorifics such as “Your Excellency” as they were previously accustomed to. Rostov says it’s fine.

When Halecki steps out of the office, Rostov sees that the pair of dueling pistols are still hidden in Halecki’s office.

Archaeologies

Mishka (Mikhail Fyodorovich Mindich) , Rostov’s friend from University, comes to see him at the hotel. Mishka is a writer. The two catch up and reminisce about Mishka staying with the Count’s family over various summers. They remember Helena , Rostov’s sister.

In late December, the Count gives Nina a Christmas gift of his grandmother’s opera glasses. Later, he sees Nikolai Petrov , a former prince, who is now working as a musician. The chat. They also plan to get together. (Via footnote, we’re told that this never happens. The Bolshevik police will soon find that Nikolai has kept of photo of the Tsar and send him to be sentenced. He gets a relatively light punishment of a “ Minus Six “, being barred from the six largest cities in Russia.)

That night, the Count opens Nina’s present to him which is her passkey for the hotel.

1923, An Actress, an Apparition, an Apiary

It’s been one year since Rostov’s house arrest. Rostov meets up with Mishka, who is excited about a woman named Katerina . Rostov feels a twinge of jealousy over his friend’s comparative freedom.

Anna Urbanova , an elegant actress with two borzoi dogs shows up at the Metropol and invites Rostov to dinner. The two eat and make love. As he heads back to his room, he sees an open window with a ladder that leads out to the roof. He climbs up and chats with the handyman Abram who is out there.

1924, Anonymity

As time passes, Rostov begins to feel invisible at the hotel. Nina is busy with schoolwork. Mishka has also been busy lately, editing an anthology and romancing Katerina. The USSR has recently been recognized by other countries and the hotel has been filled with foreign guests.

At the Boyarsky, Rostov helps Andrey to narrowly avoid a socially-fraught seating arrangement. Rostov has always been good at managing seating arrangements. Rostov is dismayed to discover that his waiter is the Bishop, who has been promoted to work at the Boyarsky, likely due to nepotism. Furthermore, Andrey thinks that it was the Bishop who put in a complaint that the Metropol’s various wines were against the ideas of the revolution. Now, they can only serve unlabeled wines, sold as simply red or white.

Depressed, Rostov grabs a bottle of wine with an insignia he recognizes, the Châteauneuf-du-Pape, to take with him. He decides he will drink it on the 10th anniversary of his sister Helena’s death and then kill himself.

1926, Adieu

On the 10th anniversary of his sister’s death, Nina is 13. She and a boy are testing out the rules of gravity and doing other scientific experiments, so she declines dinner with Rostov. She will be moving soon. Mishka has also left with Katerina to go to Kiev. Abram, the handyman he occasionally chats with, plans to retire. Rostov sees small signs that the world outside is changing quickly.

Rostov meets Charles Abernathy , a British aristocrat, at the hotel bar, the Shalyapin , and they chat. Rostov tells him the story about the birthday party of Princess Novobaczky .

Rostov and his friend arrived late due to being run off the road by a Hussar (means light cavalry) officer. His friend also slips on ice on the way in. The Hussar is at the party and is clearly interested in the Princess, though Rostov ends up talking with her. After dinner, Rostov’s friend wants to play cards instead of dancing due to his fall. Rostov and the Hussar join him, and Rostov wins a lot of money. Rostov smugly forgives the Hussar’s debt, and the Princess hears about it and offers him a dance to reward his generosity.

Bitter about being shown up, the Hussar courts Helena, Rostov’s sister, breaks her heart and sexually assaults her handmaiden. Rostov challenges him to a duel, where the Hussar’s arm is injured. Rostov gets sent out of Russia, to Paris, for a while for injuring the Hussar. When Helena later gets sick with scarlet fever, Rostov is still stuck in Paris and is not able to see her before she dies.

After parting ways with Charles, Rostov goes to the roof to kill himself as planned, but is interrupted by Abram. They chat until late and he goes to sleep. The next day, he goes to have a chat with Andrey.

1930, Arachne’s Art

Four years later, he’s still alive. Rostov has been working at the Boyarsky with Emile (head chef at the Boyarsky) and Andrey and is now head waiter. They have daily meetings where they strategize on how to acquire rare ingredients and deal with other restaurant issues. They refer to themselves as the Triumvirate .

The Bishop is now an assistant manager to Mr. Halecki. Wine labels were eventually able to come back to the Metropol. Mishka is in St. Petersburg now, broken-hearted after Katerina left him for another. Rostov sees a girl he recognizes as Nina, who has hasn’t seen in years. They catch up for a while. She says she’s leaving the next day to help collectivize farms. He confides in Marina, the hotel seamstress, that Nina seems passionate but overly serious now.

Rostov then returns to his room where Anna is waiting for him.

An Afternoon Assignation

The narrator fills us in on Anna’s past. Before, she was a successful actress, but things changed. Some people objected to the content of her movies as being anti-communist and when talkies (movies with speech) arrived, people didn’t like the sound of her husky voice. Her career was over. Because all her fancy possessions belonged to the state, she couldn’t keep them and was soon living very humbly.

In November 1928, eight months after being kicked out of her mansion, Rostov and Anna ended up seeing each other for the second time. From then on, they ended up seeing each other on and off for the next year and a half.

Anna was able to resurrect her career, but in different types of roles with her as a hardworking woman (as opposed to playing princess-y type roles before). She got her mansion back, though she has been humbled either way.

An Alliance

Back in present day, the Triumvirate is preparing for a private function. Rostov learns that the guests have requested him specifically.

He finds Osip Ivanovich Glebnikov there, a Soviet official, who knows all about Rostov’s background and history. He’s there to ask for Rostov’s assistance. In order to help manage diplomatic relations with the French and English, he wants Rostov to teach him English and French. He also wants insights into the privileged classes. Rostov agrees.

The Triumvirate has recently gotten together a number of rare ingredients for a bouillabaisse, a dish they’ve been wanting to prepare. They have a run-in with the Bishop when he rudely inquires about what they’re doing.

After the delicious meal, they chat and celebrate. Rostov drunkenly misplaces a letter from Mishka. Unbeknownst to Rostov, Mishka reports in the letter that a Poet Laureate of the Revolution has killed himself (an ominous piece of news, indicating the shifting social circumstances going on in Russia).

The narrator notes that collectivization of the farms ends up going poorly for Nina and her group. It results in a million farmers being exiled and massive food shortages, which tests Nina (and the others’) loyalty to the party.

1938, An Arrival

The thirties are a difficult time for Russia, with famine, overcrowding, limits on personal expression and the like. The Bolsheviks start trying to bring back more luxurious and glamorous aspects of life, like nicer clothes and accessories.

Nina shows up one day at the Metropol. It’s been many years, and she is now married and has a daughter, Sofia , who is about 5 or 6. Her husband was arrested, and sentenced to corrective labor in Siberia. She is going to move there and needs help watching Sofia until she is settled. She asks Rostov for his help, and he agrees despite not being in the best position for the job.

Adjustments, Ascending, Alighting

With Sofia as his charge, Rostov has to figure out what to do with her. He needs to learn how to care for a child. He turns his bed into a bunk bed so she will have space to sleep. Sofia turns to be a obedient, but playful child and likes playing games. Marina agrees to watch Sofia for the afternoon, and suggests a hotel chambermaid that can help in the future. Rostov has a meeting with Osip, but Rostov is unprepared. Osip is angry, but understanding when Rostov explains why.

Mishka shows up. He’s upset over his publisher’s censorship of an anthology of Chekhov’s letters that he has been working on for years. Rostov tells him he did the right thing by just accepting it.

However, afterwards Mishka ends up going back and making a scene. He is questioned by the police and sent to Siberia. As for Nina, she never returns from Siberia and Rostov never sees her again.

The Kremlin eventually gets a report that Rostov has a child with him. However, due to his relationship with Anna and her affair with the Commissar, they assume Sofia is an illegitimate child of Anna and the Commissar. The report is buried and locked away.

1946, Antics, Antitheses, an Accident

Eight years later, Russia is on the mend post-WWII. The Bishop is now the manager of the hotel, and he summons Rostov to inquire about a prank involving a trio of geese that ended up on the fourth floor, near the room of a Swiss diplomat. The Bishop accuses Sofia, now 13. Rostov is indignant. At the same time, he knows that the geese were originally in the kitchen of the Boyarsky, and that Sofia saw the same diplomat complain about the freshness of the poultry to the staff. Andrey notes that the dumbwaiter is covered in feathers.

Mishka shows up, looking haggard post-Siberia, though he has been sentenced to a Minus Six (exile from the six largest cities in Russia) and shouldn’t be here. As Rostov and Mishka catch up, it’s clear how out of step the Bolshevik’s ideas are from Mishka’s, who was once a revolutionary. He notes how the greatest poets in Russia have stopped writing and how Russia has become too adept at destruction. When Rostov discusses the same topic with Osip, Osip says that progress always comes at a great cost. He notes how America was built on the backs of slaves.

Later, Rostov chats with Richard , an American aid-de-camp to a general and hotel guest who saw the geese incident. The two become quick friends. Richard thinks it’s impossible to predict what parts of history and culture will live on to become immortal.

That night, Rostov sees Sofia and anticipates that she will play a game where she tries to secretly rush to whatever location he’s headed to and arrive before him. Rostov back to his room to try to beat her at her own game, but Rostov soon finds out that she has fallen on the stairs. Rostov takes her and leaves the hotel for the first time in over 20 years.

Rostov rushes to the hospital. He directs the taxi to what once was a state-of-the-art facility, but is now worn down. An unqualified doctor is about to perform surgery, but two visiting surgeons appear and take over. Sofia will be okay.

Osip shows up with Marina, saying that Marina will watch over Sofia, but he’s arranged for Rostov to discreetly return to the hotel. Osip explains that he found out because it’s his business to keep an eye on people of interest (presumably, he was the one who brought the surgeons there as well). Rostov thanks him for the favor. Rostov returns to the hotel to find that Richard has left him a gift of a phonograph and records.

Andrey’s son died in battle in WWII. He and his wife are grieving his death. He also knows that eventually the authorities will realize their apartment is too large for their reduced family. In time, they will be forced to leave their home and will be moved into a smaller apartment.

1950, Adagio, Andante, Allegro

Sofia is 17. She has grown up to be demure and sympathetic. Rostov hears from Vasily (the concierge) that Sofia is with a man, Viktor Stepanovich , and he marches angrily into the ballroom to separate them. Rostov is quickly informed that nothing improper is going on. Viktor is giving Sofia piano lessons. Sofia plays, and Rostov is shocked at how good she is. She says it was meant to be a birthday surprise for him. Viktor actually studied at the Conservatory once, but now conducts the hotel restaurant’s orchestra to make ends meet.

At lunch, Rostov comes across an architect. There’s no longer a need for architects in Russia, so now he sketches buildings for a travel agency. Rostov also meets up with Richard, who he is now close friends with. As they chat, Rostov recalls a story about the moths of Manchester . They are an example of speedy evolution, of a species having to adapt to their new circumstances quickly. (This is reminiscent of the people in this chapter who, like Rostov, have had to adapt quickly to new circumstances.)

1952, America

Anna has shifted to stage acting, which means she is now around for months at a time. Rostov and Sofia play a game during lunch, and Sofia mentions that Rostov should invite Anna. Rostov pretends to not know Anna until Sofia tells him that she and Anna have been acquainted for years.

A professor staying at the hotel invites Rostov for a meeting, which he discovers is a clandestine meeting with Richard, who he hasn’t seen in two years. Richard wants Rostov to spy for the Americans. With Stalin’s health in question, the Americans need information on the power hierarchy in Russia in order to prepare diplomatically for the shift in Russian leadership.

Rostov gently refuses, and the matter is put to rest. Soon, Stalin passes away, and a battle is brewing between Malenkov and Nikita Khrushchev to be the next leader of Russia.

1953, Apostles and Apostates

The Bishop makes changes to the order-taking process at the Boyarsky, and when Rostov complains, Rostov also lets slip that the Triumvirate has daily meetings about the restaurant’s operations.

Meanwhile, Sofia wins a piano competition. Sofia, Anna, Rostov, Andrey and Emile celebrate in Rostov’s room afterwards, but the celebration is cut short. Vasily enters to warn them that the Bishop is on his way up because someone is looking for Rostov. The Bishop enters with Frinovsky , the director of the Red October Youth Orchestra. He invites Sofia to join the orchestra in Stalingrad, noting that it’s not optional. However, Anna intervenes by saying that Nachevko , the Minister of Culture is interested in Sofia’s talents (a lie), so Frinovsky lets it go.

Later, Katerina, Mishka’s love interest, introduces herself to Rostov for the first time. She tells him that she and Mishka reunited, but he died a week ago. When Katerina refers to both Rostov and Mishka as fine poets, he corrects her. Rostov never wrote a poem in his life. Instead, he reveals that the poem that saved his life (“ Where Is It Now? “) was written by Mishka. They published it under Rostov’s name because they were worried Mishka would be killed for writing something so revolutionary, but Rostov’s nobility would protect him. Ironically, the poem ends up saving his own life instead.

Katerina leaves Rostov with Mishka’s final project, a chronological compilation of quotes about bread from famous Russian authors, including the censored quote that landed him in Siberia. It’s a rebellious project because it contrasts with all the famine the Bolsheviks caused in Russia.

1954, Applause and Acclaim

Sofia is now headed to Paris in six months, which they all marvel at since for a very long time Russians were not permitted to leave the country. When Sofia thinks about staying here instead, Rostov tells her he has done her a disservice by not conveying to her that the world outside is worth exploring, even if he’s stuck in here.

The Bishop now attends the Triumvirate’s daily meeting and micromanages them. Rostov has been formulating a plan to escape from the hotel. Sofia’s tour spurs him further into action.

Achilles Agonistes

(The book now starts describing the actions Rostov is taking to prepare for his escape, but doesn’t divulge what the plan actually is.)

Rostov leaves a note with the front desk and goes to the barber, despite not needing a shave. Soon, a bell boy shows up asking for the barber to come immediately. With him gone, Rostov steals a bottle that the barber refers to as the “ Fountain of Youth ” from the cabinet.

Ever since Sofia’s plans to head for Paris were in place, Rostov has been busy preparing. He bought her a suitcase and guidebook, has been teaching her French and Marina has sewn her a dress.

Now, Rostov returns to his room, pulls out the guide book and finds a map of the 8th arrondissement (municipal district) of Paris. He carefully draws a line. He then grabs his copy of the essays of Michel de Montaigne and begins cutting out hundreds of pages.

Arrivederci

In May, after he sees an Italian couple leaving the hotel, he breaks into their room using the passkey that Nina once gave him. He steals an outfit. He later returns to steal a hat and some nesting dolls as well. That night, he notes that he has almost all the components he needs for his plan.

When he sees an American salesman, Webster , wave to the same professor who once lured him into a meeting with Richard, Rostov makes his acquaintance. Rostov asks Webster to deliver a letter to Richard, who he suspects Webster may know.

Sofia has a fitting for the dress that Marina made and Rostov sputters and gets overprotective when he sees it is backless. After, he meets with the Triumvirate plus the Bishop. There is an important dinner for the Council of Ministers and the Presidium that Rostov is supposed to oversee, but the Bishop assigns it to Andrey instead. This is problematic because overseeing the dinner is required as part of Rostov’s plan.

An Announcement

Andrey reports having tremors in his hand (later we find out it was a lie), so Rostov ends up doing the dinner anyway. Rostov is glad when he’s told there is no seating plan. He thinks to himself that because of rigid hierarchy of the Russian bureaucracy, the people will know exactly where they need to sit and that says everything you need to know about the power hierarchy in Russia.

At 9, the doors open with Malenkov and Khrushchev at the head of the table. Rostov listens intently as he serves. They make a demonstration. A power plant has finally finished construction and will now provide power to half of Moscow. The people watch as the lights go out across Moscow and then flicker back on, now drawing power from the newly opened plant.

On June 16, Rostov is making final preparations with Sofia, having explained to plan to her the night before. Sofia comes in later, telling him that her venue has been changed. Rostov fetches a new map and redraws the path.

That night, Rostov and Sofia reminisce over dinner. He tells Sofia how sad he will be without her, and he gives her a photo of himself from when he was younger for her to keep. She teases him for the huge moustache. Rostov tells her about the moustache being cut off and how that led to him meeting Nina.

At ten, all the hotel staff see Sofia off for her trip. Rostov hugs her and she leaves.

An Association, Antagonists at Arms (And an Absolution)

While Osip and Rostov have seen each other less over the years, Osip is in town now and they get together to watch Casablanca.

On June 20, Rostov serves a Finnish couple. He asks them for their room number since he needs to steal a Scandinavian passport as part of his plan. After he gets the passport, he returns to find the Bishop in his room.

The Bishop has found the discarded map with the path drawn on it. The Bishop heads down to tell the authorities, but when he gets to his office, Rostov is somehow sitting there waiting with a gun in his hand (reminiscent of the game Rostov used to play with Sofia). The gun is one of the dueling pistols stored in the office.

Rostov demands the key to the files in the office (where the Bishop has documented all the flaws of the hotel staff). He has the Bishop destroy the files on his friends and then locks him up in a storage room in the basement (in the process, they end up visiting all the rooms Nina once showed him).

On June 21, it has been exactly 32 years since his imprisonment. He follows his normal routine, except for stealing an American journalist’s fedora and raincoat. He gathers only the essentials in a rucksack.

In Paris, Sophia has finished her performance. She cuts off her hair using Helena’s scissors and uses the “Fountain of Youth” stolen from the barber to dye her hair where one part of it is white. She puts on the clothes stolen from the Italian couple. She exits and walks according to the map that Rostov prepared.

Sofia marvels at the monuments in Paris, and eventually she finds the house of Richard and his wife. Richard hands her a package, which is the copy of Montaigne’s essays that has been filled with gold coins. In return, Sofia hands Richard her bag. In a seam is a piece of paper with the notes on the dinner of the Council of Ministers and the Presidium.

(In other words, Rostov has offered Russian intelligence in exchange for help. Richard had previously wanted information on who would be in power after Stalin. Rostov notes that the seating arrangement points to Khrushchev and Malenkov being in power. But the fact that only Khrushchev knew where the dinner would held pointed to his dominance over Malenkov.)

The final piece of the puzzle is for Richard to confirm Sofia’s arrival. As instructed by Rostov, he has men call into the Metropol at midnight. The calls on 30 different phones causes pandemonium. In addition to letting Rostov know Sofia is safe, it also presents an opportunity for Rostov to escape during the fracas, wearing the journalist’s clothes.

Afterwards…

That same day, just before midnight Viktor Stepanovich awaits Rostov. They meet up.

By the next morning, the KGB has been alerted to Rostov’s disappearance. The Bishop is also nowhere to be found and rumors have arisen that Sofia went missing in Paris.

While Andrey and Emile wonder if Rostov escaped, two letter are delivered from Rostov where he thanks them for their friendship as well as gifting them with a few gold coins.

Later that day, a chief security administrator (Osip, as indicated by a scar above his left ear) in Russia is reviewing a file when a young man tells him about the situation involving Rostov at the Metropol. He’s also informed that they found the Bishop locked in a storage room. They were able to gather that a Finnish passport was stolen along with some clothes. It was confirmed that a man wearing those clothes boarded a train to Helsinki.

We then find out that the stuff about Finland was a diversion — Viktor is the one who got on that train to misdirect the police.

Rostov is in the Nizhny Novgorod province, his home province. He sees that his mansion has been burned to the ground. He heads toward a tavern instead where a willowy woman (presumably Anna) sits waiting.
